Hi! I just learnt how to knit a couple months ago, when I started to attend a meetup group with my mom. I learned to crochet in school, but I always failed to learn knitting, maybe because I'm left handed?. But something clicked now that I'm an adult and I'm hooked. I'm mostly taking on smaller projects like hats and mittens, these are the first I made to give away to a friend for her little girl (3yo) but they ended up being too small lol.

Used free patterns found online, the mittens were done with crochet. I don't know what else to put in here 😅 So feel free to ask if I'm missing some important info here, please.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words, I look forward to keep sharing my projects in such an encouraging and lovely community 💕

Haha, at the very least you could get in some deep lunges while knitting. I should probably add a caveat that the picture applies if you’re knitting in a western style. I think there are some other styles where you sit the stitches in the opposite direction and knit through the back loop. Not to complicate things further!

Maybe it’s just easier to take all the directionals, out of it and say that if knitting the stitch causes him to cross his ankles you know you’ve twisted it :)
